Tooling For Cable Making Machine

Tooling for Cable Making Machines, primarily used in the extrusion process, are highly specialized, precision-engineered components that determine the final dimensions and quality of the insulated wire or cable jacket. Key tools include the Crosshead, which channels the molten polymer around the conductor, and the Die and Tip (or mandrel) set, which accurately shape the coating material (like PVC or XLPE) as it is forced out. These tools are typically made from hardened stainless steel or Tungsten Carbide for extreme durability and a mirror-finish to ensure a perfectly smooth, concentric, and uniform insulation thickness on the finished cable, which is critical for its electrical performance.
